Bay Windows 

Casement_upvc
Bay or Bow windows are all double glazed and manufactured in white or wood grained uPVC and will give the front of your house a face lift that sets it above the others in your neighborhood. If wish to create a feature to an existing flat window, we would suggest having a bay window fitted. A bow window can normally be fitted in a matter of hours where Bay windows involve a bit more work as this type of window goes to the floor like a micro I extension, both have canopies in fiber glass, Upvc, decorative lead or a tiled roof the choice is yours. The double glazed units can be supplied in clear glass, lead patterns or stained glass patterns. Take a look at some examples below

The front of this property had a traditional window removed and a plant on bow window ffitted with Georgian glazing bars, and a tiled roof makes this elevation of the house look very attractive, and has given the room more light and the feeling of space. One point to remember is that planning permission may be required in some areas and suggest that a call into your local panning officer to find out more on planning permission in your area.

Choosing the perfect French Door for your home

ipe (9)

French door variety? Everybody knows that a French Doors ensure maximum passage of light and air, making them ideal for opening to your deck, patio, backyard.
UPVC French Doors have a ‘double handle set’ so that both doors open without the need for undoing bolts and catches.Our doors have adjustable locking system that keeps the doors tight into the frame when closed. If the opening that you plan to put the new doors into is above 1.8 meters, it would be advisable to fit side panels.
Windows are an essential part of every home, unfortunately, at the same time they account for about 35-40% of the heat loss. With energy prices rising at an incredible rate and average temperature in winter falling noticeably over the years, it is the best time to replace your old single or double glazed windows with high performance triple glazed windows

  • Triple glazing provides significant improved acoustic insulation over a double glazed unit.
  • Triple glazing will provide significantly improved thermal insulation over a similarly specified double glazed unit.
  • Thermally efficient windows will result in the generation of less carbon emissions helping to arrest global warming.
  • Triple glazed windows using true warm edge spacer bar will significantly reduce cold downdraughts, cold spots and greatly improve living conditions and comfort.
  • Energy efficient triple glazing will reduce the amount of condensation apperaing on the inside of windows in cold climatic conditions.
  • Use of Q-Lon weatherseals improve acoustic and thermal performance over time. Typical ‘rubber’ type gaskets are prone to suffer from ‘compression set’ over a short period of time whereas Q-lon retains its shape long term, providing a good consistent seal reducing the possibility of air leakage and improving sound insulation. Q-lon seals are ‘tack welded’ at the corners providing a continuous seal and do not suffer from shrinkage.

Casement Windows & Sliding Sash Windows in upvc

Windows come in all shapes and sizes and can be tailored to your specification, but choosing the right style is a little trickier. To help you make your choice, we compare the features and advantages of two of the most common window styles on the market: Casement Windows and Sliding Sash Windows.
Advantages of a Casement Window

Features of Casement Windows
You can also opt for ‘A’ rated  windows which offer the maximum energy savings 
possible. Our windows are not just energy efficient and virtually maintenance free, but also much more secure and quieter than timber framed windows .
UPVC windows are the perfect replacement for timber windows which regularly require painting to prevent them from rotting. Using the latest in double glazing technology our replacement windows offer fantastic insulation helping you save money on your energy bills.  Instant online prices available   get your quote for upvc windows & bay windows in less than 60 seconds. by clicking here.

See how your arched windows will look before your installation with our new wow app.

Casement windows are attached by two or more hinges at the side. They can open inwards or outwards, but more often they open outwards. They may have a ‘friction hinge’ or ‘stay’ to hold the window in place when it’s open. This is handy on windy days!
Casement windows can be singular or in pairs sharing a frame. The glass may be plain or can have the appearance of leaded glass: i.e. panels of glass held together with lead strips, creating a criss-cross pattern, or with a Georgian bar pattern.
we will always quote A’ Rated specification unless otherwise requested.alternatively you could choose Triple glazing
Triple Glazed Casement Window      Casement Window Features       Casement Window Sash Locks  Energy Efficient Casement Windows
These windows are safe to open in the wind because there is a safety catch holding them in place. Inward opening casement windows can be fitted in areas with very windy weather as an extra precaution.
You can create lots of different looks with a casement window. They can be purchased in a choice of frames, which means they can suit more homes and tastes and they are available in plain, leaded glass, or Georgian style.
These windows are suitable for modern developments, refurbishment, or the replacement of existing casement windows.
They’re very secure because the lock is embedded within the frame, making them difficult to break into.
Want to save money by insulating your home? Casement windows are very energy efficient and are second only to fixed-pane windows in terms of energy efficiency.
These windows offer excellent ventilation to homes because they open outwards, allowing air and light in from the top, the bottom and either side. In fact, this type of window can open the widest compared with all others.

All foiled using Eco Friendly lamination, without the use of hazardous solvents.

Woodgrain on white achieves the look of traditional hardwood frames on the outside and brilliant white frames on the inside.
Not only do we offer an extensive range of solid and woodgrain colour options to offer our customers more choice, all of our foil finishes are supplied on lead-free profile and are laminated using Eco-Friendly methods to comply with European Legislation.

Features of Sliding Sash Windows
Sash Window Sash Horns           Sash Window Sash locks           Sash Window D Locks
Sliding sash windows are not attached with by hinge. Instead they slide open – either up or down, or side to side.

Original sliding sash windows are a really strong selling point of many period properties. They’re one of those features like ‘original fireplace’ that get homebuyers really excited. However, original sliding sash windows can be expensive to maintain and repair and if they’re single glazed, they’re less energy efficient.

We recommend replacing older and damaged sliding sash windows with newer ones, in a material that’s sympathetic to the building’s materials.

Advantages:

They’re attractive and can make your home appear more beautiful and more valuable.
These windows are useful in period properties when casement windows may be considered too modern. Sliding Sash Windows are available in PVCu
They are suitable for period developments, refurbishment, or the replacement of existing sliding sash windows.
You can choose how much to open the window by sliding. This means you can have it open just a tiny little bit if you just want to keep some air flowing through the room, or keep the  weather out!
These windows are easy to open.
